[SGDEX] media.errorCode == -5 media.errorMsg == no valid bitrates #89
Description
I am relatively new to Roku. Currently trying out the channels but I have a problem that I can't resolve.
When I access some channels begins loading but in few seconds return to home page.
I trying debugg the error and I can see this return:
SGDEX: View Manager runProcedure addView
SGDEX: newView.setFocus(true)
[SGDEX] media.errorCode == -5 media.errorMsg == no valid bitrates
But I don't understand how I do to fix that.

None of that content is from our sample channels, so this may not be a problem with SGDEX. My best guess is that there's something wrong with the streams themselves. I would suggest taking a look at the streaming specs to be sure you're encoding them in a playable format: https://developer.roku.com/en-gb/docs/specs/media/streaming-specifications.md
